Abstract

AYURVEDIC AND MODERN PERSPECTIVE OF DIFFERENT TREATMENT OPTIONS IN “FISTULA -IN -ANO”

Dr. Anil Kumar*

ABSTRACT

Treatment of fistula in ano is still a great challenge for the surgeons due to high incidents of its recurrence rate. Sushruta has described about Ashtamahagadas[1], which are very difficult to treat and Fistula– in-ano is one of them. As far as the origin of fistula in ano is concerned, it originates from the anal glands present between anal sphincters which drain via ducts into anal sinuses at the level of dentate line. If the outlet of these glands anyhow gets obstructed, the abscess forms which eventually extends to the skin surface and drains from there. The tract thus formed is termed as fistula in ano. Hence, in the present article, different treatment options available in Ayurveda and modern science are discussed.
